This listing is for new Vredestein Sportrac 5 205/55R16 91V BSW Tires. Manufacturer part number: 8714692261114.

The Vredestein Sportrac 5 tire is a summer tire for sport coupes and sedans featuring high performance handling, a long wearing tread, and a sporty appearance.

Designed for driving enthusiasts who like to push their vehicles, this tire has a belt package and internal construction that delivers a large contact patch with the road, that does not deform at high speed. These means consistent high performance grip and predictable breakaway at the limit.

Despite the sporty appearance and swept back tread grooves, the tire is quiet. The large even surface pressure and stiff high performance sidewall inserts offer short braking distances and excellent handling on dry and wet surfaces.

The load index (LI) is a 2 or 3 digit number that corrolates to the maximum amount of weight the tire can carry. For example, a tire with a load index of 87 indicates that the tire can carry a maximim load of 1,201 lbs. In the case of our example the 87 identifies the tires ability to carry a maximum of 1,201 lbs. So 4 tires will carry a maximum of 4,804 lbs. Refer to your vehicle owner's manual for the recommended minimim Load Index. It is not recommended to install tires with a lower Load Index. By doing so, this could cause your tires to be overloaded thus potentially causing a blowout.... read moreread less

Speed Rating

V

Speed Ratings (SR) are based on laboratory tests and indicates the maximum speed the tire can achieve. These tests are based on limited time trials. Higher speed rating tires typically will yield better handling capabilities, but may often result in lower mileage. Refer to your vehicle owner's manual for the recommended minimum Speed Rating. It is not recommended to install a tire with a lower speed rating as it could affect the handling of your vehicle. It is important to note that speed ratings only apply to tires that have not been damaged, altered, under-inflated or overloaded. Additionally, most tire manufacturers maintain that a tire that has been cut or punctured no longer retains the tire manufacturer's original speed rating, even after being repaired because the tire manufacturer can't control the quality of the repair.... read moreread less

To help consumers evaluate their tires, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) created the Uniform Tire Quality Grading System (UTQG).

Excellent grip & a smooth ride

The Sportrac 5 is a great summer tire for my Spider ... rides very comfortably but has the right amount of stickiness to make cornering at speed a lovely thing. We just drove Tail of the Dragon and couldn't stop laughing the whole time ... it was like an amusement part ride built for cars and the tires were perfect!

Great Quality Tire for Size

I was hoping to find a good quality tire let alone a euro performance brand option. This tire looks and rides well. I will recommend to customers in future.

I like these tires

Finally I have found a tire in this size that is of good quality and relatively sticky for a decent price. They run smooth on the freeway and did not require too much weight to balance. I have not tried them in the rain yet, but they look promising for wet traction.
